I've had mine about a month and have had no such issue. I would try a different video cable and power cord, then call Asus support.

To be honest, I haven't tried it yet since I am always busy with other stuff. You need video capture software on your computer and a connecting USB cable, but there should be no reason why there would be a problem as long as the signal gets through. Hope to get around to it one of these days!

There is sound while videoing but it is very faint. Cannot have background sound.

I realize why it flashes black. It's happens when the picture quality changes. Its not entirely the players fault. The router shares the blame. With other streaming playes you won't notice it but this one announces it.

I made setting adjustments, updated the firmware and have since watched scenes with dark backgrounds and it seems to have gone away? Don't know why for sure but so far, so good. Thought the same. Perhaps it is a HDMI cable issue but was seeing it both on tv broadcasts as well as DVD so felt it must have been related to some sort of setting? Don't think both of my HDMI cables would have been bad! Thanks.

it seems the problem is in the cable boxes or dvr. my unit will record most anything if hooked to one of the older cable supplied boxes, newer ones will block me. dont think the unit itself has the same problems as the sony units do, this unit is a good bet tho!

Has anyone heard of a firmware update to cure the video "blanking out" and then coming back when using 480 input and upconverting to 1080 via hdmi cable?

Video is constant when parent unit is plugged in to outlet only. When operating on battery, after a few minutes the video turns off, and you have to push a button to turn on the video -- video on my unit does not come on with noise/sound.

Hi LindaAfter suffering for 6 months I have given up. Nothing I have done works. I do have the vcr/dvd hooked up so I can view tapes/dvds; however no recording. And what is real weird; on occasion, my tape recording blacks out and says no signal. If this is just a tape, why is that? The TV does not black out. UGH

I have the same problem with my Sony BDP-s370 Bluray player. The only files Eyeconnect sees are my EyeTV files, and those stutter (would love to find a way to let them buffer a little). The rest (AVIs, MPGs, etc.) don't even show up as options...

I haven't had the video drop out while watching a movie, but the GUI for the net/usb function will not display half the time. My TV displays a message that it is not receiving any video signal, which is odd since I know the receiver is on.

Sounds like you are connected with a component video cable and you either have the cable connected incorrectly or you are using a bad cable.

Another possibility is a reception problem during recording, so I'd suggesting waiting to see if it happens on more than one channel and that you have really soild reception when not recording. Although I've not had this problem, other strange things have rarely occured, and usually unplugging the power cord for a minute or so and plugging back in solves it.
